Done some research, looking for personal reviews of these 2 brands, please.

LC is about $200 more than AC.

Thanks!

I have a Le Crueset dutch oven and All Clad with the copper core as my regular pans--so my experience is limited.  I love the All Clad cookware...they heat evenly, and are pretty easy to clean.  I use my dutch oven mainly on the stove top and not in the oven but love the weight of the pot.

To mind no contest.  Not even close.  All-Clad is American made and has been excellent cookware for many years.  I have never seen LC beat it in any review. I don't think you'll go wrong with All-Clad.

My kitchen has enough LC to open a store. I love them. Easy to clean and every thing you cook in them comes out perfectly. I do not have any all clad so I can't comment.

Hope you enjoy whichever one you choose. Good cookware makes a big difference.

Have owned a Wolfgang Puck 18/10 stainless steel set for 15 years and it looks, feels and acts like brand new.

If I knew an 18/10 stainless steel sets behaved like this I would have purchased All Clad.

I love it.

I use All-Clad copper core as my regular pots and pans. I use Le Creuset for speciality tasks where I want to have the pot heat all up the sides such as for sourdough bread, or grilling on the stovetop, or as a griddle. If i want the Dutch oven to retain heat for a long time I use my le creuset.

I have gone through so much cookware in my 40 years of marriage! I finally wised up and made an investment in getting 2 full sets of All Clad cookware. I know I will never need another piece again! I love this stuff! I've been using mine for about 7 years now and it still looks and acts as though its brand new.

I think some here don't understand you are asking about LC stainless steel and not enameled cast iron.

My daughter has a set of Le Creuset stainless steel and she loves it.  She received it as a shower gift.

I spent half of my tax return to get All-Clad and I will NEVER regret it. It is BY FAR the best cookware I ever used.

I recommend it.

LC stainless is made in China; AC in the USA.  AC has a longstanding tradition of excellence in stainless cookware; LC does not have that history for stainless.  Their case iron is superb, wouldn't buy anything else.  But I wouldn't buy their stainless when I can buy AC.
